The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested some suspects over attempts to divert palliatives provided by the federal government to ameliorate the hardship caused by the removal of petrol subsidy.
Spokesman of the Service, Peter Afunanya, in a statement on Tuesday, September 5, said it received reports from some state governments relating to the diversion or sale of palliatives meant for their citizens.
He said consequently, the Service undertook investigations in that regard and has recovered some of the items as well as apprehended the suspects.
Afunanya said the suspects have, however, been handed over for appropriate disciplinary measures.
